"I had a tree come down during the high winds. It smashed my mailbox and post. He used his chipper and removed the tree. Great company to work with! I will be using them again to clear underbrush and remove other trees on my property."

"They called the same day i requested a service quote and came that afternoon even though it was raining like crazy. Joe gave us a quote and two days later the crew showed up and did an amazing job of removing a tree from our creek and cutting some branches from other trees. They removed a the debris and left the area clean. I highly recommend this company to any one."

"Andrew from Second Nature lawn care came out to do some touch up seeding this morning. He was wonderful. He has been here to do the fall seeding before and did a terrific job. He did the same for me today. He was thorough, informative and such a delight to have at my house. I could not have been more pleased. Second Nature is really fortunate to have him in their company!! I appreciate him so much and am grateful to Second Nature for for responding to my request so quickly !"

Customers say: Quality work

"Cody and his team were fantastic and friendly. They not only cut down the original request of a dead tree but also help me with a very large tree I knew was not in good shape. I asked them to please cut everything into 14 inches so it would fit our wood burning stove. They not only cut both trees but actually measure each large branch/trunk to make sure the length was correct. Cody did everything the way I wanted it. They also stacked everything up so we could easily split all the wood. Cody would have split it if we wanted it done. The best part was the very fair cost he gave me to do both trees. I highly recommend this company. You will be very happy with their work."

Arborists FAQs, answered by experts

If a tree stump is removed properly, the chances of a tree growing back are low. However, if a tree has a robust root system, roots can sometimes sprout and someday grow into a tree. The chance of regrowth will depend on several factors such as the type of tree, soil quality, and strength of the root system. In general, it is not recommended to plant a tree where a stump was removed.

Trees provide many benefits, including shade, habitat for local wildlife, and cleaner air, so it’s always a good idea to try an alternative strategy like crown reduction before you chop one down. But sometimes, cutting down a tree is the only option (like if it’s severely diseased). A licensed arborist can assess the tree and recommend the best course of action.

Yes, it is essential to confirm that any tree service company you hire is properly insured before they begin work. Tree removal, trimming, and pruning are dangerous jobs, and proper insurance protects you, your home, and the company from liability in case of accidents or damage. Look for a company that carries both general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and do not hire one that cannot provide proof of coverage. When browsing for professionals, you can look for indicators like an “Angi Approved” badge, which signifies that the business meets standards like holding applicable licenses and passing a background check. Keep in mind that a license is a legal requirement to operate, while certifications are typically voluntary.

Trees don’t usually grow back after being cut down. Some particularly robust tree species may start sending up new stems from a stump to recover, but those stems won’t become a “tree” like before. Generally, trees don’t recover from being entirely cut down, which is why it’s important to be careful when making a decision. When you cut down a tree, it’s a good idea to make plans to remove the stump, even if it’s unlikely to grow back.

Licensing requirements for arborists, also known as tree surgeons, vary by state and municipality. Many areas require a license, which often involves specialized education and experience. Even if not mandated, it's wise to hire a licensed professional as they tend to have more experience. Beyond licensing, look for certifications from organizations like the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), as this indicates a higher level of expertise. Certified arborists must typically pass a comprehensive exam. Always confirm that the arborist has a business license and is fully insured to protect yourself from liability. Seeking positive recommendations from local homeowners is also a good step in finding a qualified professional.
